Outsourcing DDOS

[sfouant at shortestpathfirst.net (Stefan Fouant)]

Although a bit dated, I did a pretty exhaustive comparison of offerings 
from AT&T, Verizon, Prolexic, and a few others a while back.

Don't forget there is also the go-it-yourself approach which is always a 
fun option, guaranteed to keep you up at night and give you a few 
additional gray hairs...

Let me know if you're interested in the slides...
